Abstract
Europe is currently the oldest continent having the “old-age dependency ratio” - persons over 65 compared to the active population. To cope with this situation, the deployment of Active and Healthy Aging (AHA) services through IoT is becoming increasingly relevant, to make this population as independent as possible within their environment. This study presents the whole process to design and implement the “Public Evaluation Website”, a tool that will present the results and achievements generated in ACTIVAGE, a Large-Scale Pilot that implements Internet of Things solutions for AHA in 9 European regions and cities.
